C# CheckBoxList

Hi,

When creating a dynamic checkboxlist, I am able to add items to the checkbox list by doing SecCB.Items.Add(sec.Sector_Name); but how do I add an ID or Value to the item?

Thanks

  public void DeveloperSectors()
  {
   DCDataContext dc = new DCDataContext();

SecCB.RepeatColumns = 3;
SecCB.RepeatDirection = RepeatDirection.Horizontal;

IQueryable DevSecRe = from se in dc.DeveloperSectors orderby se.Sector_Order ascending select se;

   foreach (DeveloperSector sec in DevSecRe)
   {
    SecCB.Items.Add(sec.Sector_Name);
   }
  }

You'll have to use the overload of the Add() method which takes a ListItem as a parameter rather than a string. You can then set the ListItem's Value property - they don't have an ID property.

Thank you.

new ListItem(shr.ShoppingCart_Name, shr.ShoppingCart_ID.ToString()));
